    1. I'm still having difficulties leaving comments here, Tess. If this one gets past the gremlins it will say thanks for the prompt and I'm on board.

  6. Dear Tess: Somehow I got Berowne's 131 up there. I'd appreciate it if you could delete that and keep the 132 reference. T I A

  15. This prompt reminded me of when I bought my own house. Not quite the same experience, but I know I would have fallen in love with that room just like Alice does in my story.

  18. I really enjoyed this prompt Tess, though it took me down a dark path I wasn't expecting.
    I emailed you with a query a few days ago, but it may have got lost.

  19. This was a wonderful image- thanks Tess! Co-incidently the photo I included with Wyeths painting I just had taken last night feeling the same sentiments as in the poem.

  20. It seems that Wyeth and Thomas Hart Benton are always golden sources for stories and poems. I knew this was Olive's cabin on the Maine coast the second I logged in her.

  27. Great prompt this week. Just took me a while to get my head around it and know where I wanted to take it.

  28. I'm late but I loved this picture and whilst at the lake yesterday wrote what it made me feel. A beautiful room, but empty and sad.

  29. At first I felt as though I was staring at a blank page, a white canvas. I panicked.

  30. Lots of depth in this prompt. I loved it!

  31. A sombre prompt, redolent with heartache and despair. But life goes on . . .

  32. Keeping the light on.... I'm in, although I'm feeling perhaps posting on Mondays is too late?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm posting seven MONTHS too late--to prove, "It's NEVER 'too late'!"...
    Just couldn't pas up that bust of Beethoven outside in the snow. OKAY, so it AIN'T Beethoven--grin!
    PEACE!

  34. Tess, I believe I accidently posted twice--the mortal sin of blogging. Oh Well...I like warm better than cold!

    Can you fix?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Such a lovely painting. And I made it on a Monday (must be a first)! Hope it is not too late. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  36. ACK! I didn't trust Mr. Linky & have accidentally posted twice. Can you remove the second link? So sorry...

  40. Hi Tess - I have to say that I really like mine this week--maybe because most of the lines are not my own. Thanks much! K.

  41. Thank you for this exercise. I'm sorry I entered so late.

  42. I was really stuck this week - a little more than usual which made me yearn for the Coke machine and settees! However, Walls Cannot Speak is up. Thanks Tess.

  43. I have two books of Andrew Wyeth's paintings and this was a pure pleasure for me to write to. Thank you.
